Dog ownership is increasing within our cities along with increasing usage of dog parks and off-leash areas. This increased usage is drastically increasing the amount of waste within these off-leash areas. Understanding the factors that affect how waste can be reduced or diverted from landfills is key in creating a more sustainable long term waste […]

The intern will travel to the University of Jyväskylä’s Department of Chemistry, where they will be hosted in the group of Prof. Heikki M. Tuononen. The principal investigator host is a computational chemist of international recognition, University of Calgary alumnus, and longtime collaborator of Prof. Roland Roesler, the host in University of Calgary’ Department of […]

L’imagerie micro-CT (pour micro-Computer Tomography) est une methode d’imagerie 3D non-destructive permettant d’observer la structure interne d’un corps biologique. La methode se sert des rayons X afin d’effectuer une multitude de prises d’images en 2D qui seront traitees par ordinateur afin d’obtenir une image 3D du systeme d’interet. Cependant, la methode necessite la presence d’atomes […]

There are currently tens of thousands of locations throughout North America where pipelines cross stream channels. At these locations, instability of the stream bed and banks poses a serious risk to pipeline infrastructure, and has the potential to cause environmental harm. The objective of this internship is to improve the numerical models used to monitor […]

La physique des particules se concentre sur l’étude des éléments fondamentaux constitutifs de la matière et des forces qui régissent leurs interactions. Les recherches dans ce domaine sont menées à l’aide d’accélérateurs de particules. De plus, le Modèle Standard de la physique des particules est le cadre théorique principal décrivant les interactions entre ces particules […]

In this project, we study the Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) model, which features a two-level system (an “atom”) coupled to a quantum field. In a previous publication, the UDW model was extended to include a relativistic centre of mass, which was introduced via a first- and second-quantised treatment of the atom’s dynamics. However, an issue with this […]

This Mitacs Globalink Research Award will support a research collaboration involving Imen Hemmedi, a PhD student working in the group of Dr. Nabila Bitri at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Ingénieurs de Tunis and Prof. Jean-Michel Ménard at the University of Ottawa. The project focuses on leveraging the unique properties of quantum materials to explore innovative […]

Aluminum alloys are widely used in many industrial applications, including automobile industries, thanks to their outstanding thermal conductivity, lightweight, and low cost. However, the varied range of metal impurities contained in aluminum alloys from different suppliers makes it difficult to control the quality during manufacturing processes. This problem is exacerbated by the lack of a […]

Raymor Industries, a Canadian high-tech company, is at the forefront of producing advanced materials that are vital for the next-generation technologies of the Clean Tech sector. The main materials they produce are single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and graphene, which can be used in sustainable electronics, energy storage, and medicine. However, to fully realize their potential, […]

Ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) is an established tool to record atomic motion on very short timescales well below one picosecond. The sample, typically less than 100 nanometers thick, is first excited with an optical pump-pulse leading to the rearrangement of its atomic or molecular constituents. Subsequently, the structural changes are probed by a short electron […]

The primary objective of the Globalink research project is to develop and implement advanced techniques for the detection of energetic electrons in silicon detectors, with a focus on overcoming the limitations of traditional detection methods and mitigating radiation damage. We will try to investigate whether laser annealing and pixel migration techniques can effectively mitigate radiation […]

Super-resolving lenses are able to beat the standard diffraction limit in optics and image objects smaller that the wavelength of light. Such devices are already important in areas such as the bio-medical sciences, and but could also find application in the emerging field of quantum technology by providing a way of coupling qubits with high […]
